I am honestly surprised that Mnet is giving Kim Jiwoong so much screentime and such a good edit so far. I thought being a BL actor and therefore having videos of him passionately making out with another man all over the internet would be too much of a brandrisk for them. Perhaps they weighed their options and ultimately just went "But he's so hot tho...", I hope they don't switch up on him later
i kind of thought the same?? he was getting a lot of homophobic backlash before the season started so i was worried the producers might sabotage him but thankfully they're not doing that and i don't *think* they will later considering that they aired him talking about BL
@serikeu That honestly SHOCKED me, I wasn't surprised that he would openly say that he's a BL actor because it's always been very clear he isn't ashamed of that but I did not expect them to A: Keep it in the edit and B: Show a clip from his latest drama. I hope he continues to do well. Speaking of, I'll go vote for him right now actually
I have a secret theory that they made this the gayest season ever on purpose to capitalize on shipping culture. Hanbin specializes in historically gay dances (whacking and tutting) and has a cute friendship with Matthew, Jiwoong does BL, Seo Won and Woonggi are in the same dorm covering Hype Boy, Doha confessed his love, Anthonny, Haruto, Kuanjui, Sungmin, Ricky, Jongwoo, etc etc
Jay should go solo if he’s not picked. He’s so talented and it will be obvious by then that the K-System doesn’t value in a boy group his potential. Which is crazy to me.
I think out of all the G-group trainees Seok Matthew actually has the highest chance of debuting. Yes even higher than Zhang Hao. He's ethnically Korean so he won't be negatively impacted by the nationality bias and Mnet has already given him plenty of screentime to establish him as his own separate person with a compelling backstory. Anthonny and Kim Taerae are both under W1 so I wouldn't count them out. Especially Kim Taerae, I think he has Kim Chaehyun upside to him. (And if Hui for some reason isn't in the finale I'd say Taerae's almost a guarantee). As for Jay, he's probably a shoo-in for the finale but I agree that the 50% weighing of Korean votes will likely keep him from debuting. There's no way Mnet will let Wang Zihao debut. He'll probably be gone after the 2nd round, and if he somehow sticks around he's still lacking in the Korean support needed to debut. Sure, Huening Bahiyyih had more international fans (ranking 1st in global votes) but she still ranked 7th in Korean votes. I don't think Zihao has that or will be able to cultivate that. The star support also doesn't fully show who has the most 1pick support bc people are able to use multiple accounts to vote for it, which isn't possible for the official voting.
I'm not the best at analysing but I saw in the mnet app that Zihao haa the highest support like 80% or smth So how can he not debut when he has so much support from the fans
taerae anthonny and jay will probably all make it to finale so it wouldn't definitely wouldn't be impossible! for zihao you're probably right, i do still think his one pick will seriously catch a lot of people off guard but the chances of actually debuting are slim for sure. he'll have a lot of odds against him
@@daze5901 In GP999 there was a similar support voting. Okazaki Momoko won 1st place for it and she was eliminated in the first elimination. Her cell ranked 18th and she wasn't even the most popular trainee in her cell, Wen Zhe was gaining them most of their support (J21 vs C11)
@@daze5901 mnet has two different votes, the vote you're talking about is "support vote". Yes, Zihao gets votes there faster than others, but this vote does not affect trainee's ranking in the standings, it just gives some bonuses to trainee, and this vote is individual. In the voting that affects the place of trainees in the standings and their passage to the next round, as of February 9, Zihao was in 38th place, in this voting you can only vote for 9 trainee at once, so even if you vote for your favorite, you will somehow have to vote for another 8 trainee, therefore, the results here can be quite unexpected. Sorry for my clumsy English, I hope that what I was able to explain clearly
not even halfway in the video, and I'm so impressed on how you really studied the pasts shows and everything. the science partner we all needed in school lmao!
honestly with keita's level of talent it will be such a shame if he doesn't make it, when you look at people who really deserve to debut he is definitely one of the first names that comes to mind! great video by the way!!
Yes he is the most deserving one compare some higher rank than him, if the judge will vote too for sure keita will be in top 9 but if only fans can vote i'm not sure and i'm not happy with it
@@liezltan1887 yes you’re right! he would 100% debut based on pure talent if there was a judges score, let’s hope people will vote for him and he’ll make it
my one goal is to just not get attached to anyone other than sung hanbin and zhang hao who are basically guaranteed to debut or else i know im gonna go through so much pain 💀
Lmao that’s exactly my plan too hahaha 😭 cause my heart has been broken so many times during the previous produce shows. well but i think I’m already failing 💀
I don’t like the rhetoric that anyone is guaranteed to debut, especially foreign trainees. Xiaoting was a center for gp999 and she almost didn’t make it because people thought like this and voted for people “less safe”. It’s unfortunate but especially after the latest episode, some knetz are saying they won’t vote for any Chinese trainees at all. So please vote for the trainees you want even if they seem popular online. nothing is guaranteed and knetz can and will turn on anyone, especially foreign trainees, easily!
is it selfish for me to hoping keita, Zhang hao, jay, and seok matthew all debuting? i hope we'll have four place for G-Group. Edit : guys, now I want wang zi hao in the group too 😭😭😭😭 I'm being selfish for real now still can't believe keita and Jay didn't make it...
I don't think this is being selfish bc I also want to debut at least four trainees from G group, but I'm not sure if mnet is going to accept it I mean they always emphasize that it is a "kpop" show competition that's why I don't know if it would be this easier for 4 G-group trainees debut I think they will make 2 of them debut at most however I'd be really happy if 4 of them debut
All four of these guys are my top picks! They’re one of the best if not the best of G-Group and the most debut-ready, especially Jay. All of them are stacked with talent and so much potential.
Sometimes I feel like I am the only one rooting for Park Gunwook. I barley see people talk about him. I think it has to do with Mnet evil editing making him appear cocky, too confident or rude when he isn’t any of those things. He is a whole sweetheart and is doing what he can to win. He isn’t ranked high enough which was surprising to me because he has it all. Visual, Stage presence, Dancing, and Singing. He really ate it up during the first episode and I still can’t believe he isn’t ranked above. Anyways Gunwook fighting!! You will debut. Also rooting for Jay, Hanbin and Zhang hao, Ji woong and Ricky!!!
I HATE the one pick system, if I'm voting for a debut group then LET ME VOTE FOR THE AMOUNT OF MEMEBERS IN THE GROUP!!! It's not like I want to be a solo stan, and ignore the other members of the group, I want to enjoy them as a whole, so I completely don't get why we're always required to vote for one or two people at the final. Loved the video! Exited to see how everything will turn out! Hopefully I'll like the debut members 😅
it's the reason why these mnet groups were always crazy successful, they make sure that each member of the group has a substantial and dedicated fanbase that will potentially buy anything that comes from the group because their #1 made it
I don't think that's the problem I'm more then willing to like the group as long as my no1 pick. There's no excuse for the inhumanity people show to people that weren't in their ideal line up. And I'm not sorry but Im judging you for that if you get upset because you are greedy and want everyone of your picks to make it instead of being happy for the trainees. To me this is just an excuse people use fir themselves so that they can feel free to hate trainees they didn't want when the truth is you are just greedy shitty people. I think fans after having a few top picks should instead have a general pool of trainees they'll be happy with to like. I think is greedy to be upset if not everyone in your top 9 makes it and if you didn't vote for them then that's on you. I for one have a few picks that I like simply because of their relationship to my 1 pick but I'm not getting my hopes up and that's fine. I don't think there's any trainee I dislike or can't learn to love after all they'll be my favs teammate if my pick makes it.
@@ni-kingtaehyunjkyoongs2758 It's not like I hate the people that get to debut, for example for i-land I was voting for my faves but some of them didn't debut because of the lack of support from other fans and that was ok, but mostly I'm thinking about those times when very popular trainees didn't get to debut because they thought "oh that person is safe, so I'll vote for my second pick" and many times it resulted in the first pick not debuting. This happened with K from &Team on I-land, Gaku on &Audition and people on Produce too. So it's not that the others shouldn't have debuted or anything like that. Others maybe think so, but not me. Imo it just creates somewhat a mess when there could have been no mess at all by voting for the number of the debut members, because still the most popular ones would be the ones to debut.
sung han bin, zhang hao, kim ji woong, lee seunghwan, park gunwook, jay, wang zi hao, seok matthew and keita as a group would top the charts of kpop and would have all eyes on them. i just know they would get the attention of everyone around the world
@@Pr0d3gi i think there's a high chance that international fans will realizes that the only drama he's in is for his past cringy demeanor and see how much talent he has. Jay has proven time and time again that his singing skills and stage presence has been way too good (in another kpop survival show his talent was outstanding and obvious to be chosen but he didn't and fans were so confused/enraged why not). In the beginning I saw clips of him being cringy and I didn't like it but again it was years ago and if he is still like that today it wouldn't matter. He takes in feedback very seriously and is very reflective of himself (he's an introvert but on boys planet stage he makes himself extroverted to do his best stage that amazes the contestants and judges) and from episode 2 of his confidence lowering from seeing everyone on track (a lot of them are dancers and he is not - still a great dancer tho), when it came to perform for the judges he made sure to not whow his worries and insecurity and in the end executed perfectly from singing to dancing and facial expression. I can't believe I have to back him up but he's just innocent. He is reliable, reflective, and so outstanding. To any international fans that don't like him please don't fall into the propaganda. He says he find boys planet to be his last chance and he has been trying to debut for so long. If it's not Jay, then will he just be history? You can't look away from him hes always in your attention and thats what makes an idol stand out. Please support him and don't fall into the propaganda. He really is undeserving and its so great to see people recognizing his talent in episode 2 landing in top 9 🎉
@@texturedair2276 yesss, tbh I find Jay really cringey but his talent kinda overlooks that for me. He’s hardworking and is capable of growth, even if he doesn’t make it in the line-up I still think he’ll be able to be a successful western artist. The rumors about his racist past seems really fishy though, imo there is less evidence to back ppl’s claims. Jay has support from his ceo, friends, public figures such as alexa and kevin. He’s shown positive reception to lgbtq fans, protests, and parades. And by the way people are reacting by calling him derogatory terms and dogpiling on him without actual evidence (that can be easily edited) looks like another case of cancel culture (ex. garam, woojin) That is to say though, I’m neutral. If he makes it, he makes it, if he doesn’t then I also won’t be that upset.
i do hope keita makes it, there's so much he can bring to the group, rap, dance, and vocals, composing songs and choreography too. his 5 years in YG Ent really shaped him to be an outstanding performer. he's always been known as a legendary trainee in YGTB, i hope people watching boys planet see that toof
Sometimes I still wonder why he wasn't picked by YG when he has to save some contestants from the eliminated ones. He is one of the best rappers there.
wang zihao is very talented but sadly mnet doesn't give him any screentime he's probably the only ALL STAR trainee who didn't get to showcase his talent like an ALL STAR not getting screentime is PURE EVIL. he was even seen helping other trainees in the bg in pixels, man is very humble and kind. hope he gets some recognition for his talent in the coming episode 🙏 PLEASE VOTE FOR WANG ZIHAO EVERYONE !!!
Wang Zihao is really very talented it's such a shame what they doing to him. I noticed him in episode 3 n started voting for him. He would make a really good idol
yeah they do this with ricky too like ep 2 he show up like 1 time? and he was amazing in back door, if he was not in the killing part they would barely does him again, they deserve better
For some reason I keep thinking Hui is going to pull a Jurina from pd48 and just quietly(or dramatically) pull out of the show bc of health issues or an injury Idk why I just can’t picture him actually wanting to be in a group w a 15 yr old
this is interesting and definitely possible. i personally think he's already come far enough and is seeing good enough results that he may stick it out but it's definitely hard to picture him and yujin in the same group
@@serikeu I don't think so. It's visible that he was uncomfortable and out of place in the first episode, but in this second episode he is much more comfortable with the other trainees. I was even happy to see him asking other trainees for help in dancing. Also, since the first ep he says he doesn't want other trainees to treat him like a sunbae...
@@serikeu I mean i think he’ll stay the next couple rounds maybe pull out before the finale I have no evidence, just a feeling. A feeling that he isn’t done with pentagon the way yujin was done with clc so maybe more of a byungchan from pdx101 move
SAME, I think ppl just don’t realize how different 29 is to a 18-20 year old. Ppl calling it ageism but no😭‼️ When you’re significantly older than someone, the only position you can take is older brother or mentor. You would just never have any intimate or weird conversations with them, at best they’ll consider each other as family but not besties 😭 I can’t imagine hui doing all the rookie variety shows and games with them, that’s hilarious. I’m 18, my older brother is 29 too, THATS SO WEIRDDD to think of someone in a totally different life stage being in my friend group 😭
There's a similar case like that in PD101 Japan season 1. There's a 3 Koreans, which is ex Halo members (Kim Youndong, Kim Heecheon, and Jeong Younghoon) who joined the show, all of their rangkings was secured from episode 1 and guaranteed to debut. But right after the third elimination and before the final mission starts, Kim Heecheon left the show first and the two remaining followed. It was said due to personal reasons but I guess one of the main reasons all of them suddenly quit like that was because some of the "netizens" complained that it's too much if the three of them debut in the final group (JO1), it'd be a shame and pity for the remaining japanese trainees. I understand why the three do that but I'm not lying that it's heartbreaking when the news came out because they're one of my pick and got a great chemistry with the other trainees :') it's a shame because they were so hopeless that they even joined the newest produce show that's not even in Korea. they have to learn japanese, adapt and have a secured rankings but they decided to gave it to their japanese friends, they're so kind ugh I can't-- :( but now I'm happy that they have debuted in Japan, with the other 4 trainees from PD101 Japan that managed to go final but didn't get to debut lineup
matthew's one-pick fanbase is definitely soaring and will continue to given his screentime and his virality on tiktok - good that he absolutely has the talent to back it up!
I can’t emphasize enough how important it is for people that like Zhang Hao to keep voting for him. We saw what almost happened last time with Xiaoting. Everyone assumed she was guaranteed to debut, but she barely made it after the one pick system started. Zhang Hao has been getting a lot of love but he’s a foreigner/Chinese member at the end of the day, and he faces more barriers compared to Hanbin, Jiwoong, and Yujin because of that. We’ve already seen how those 3 are stable as the top 3, but Zhang Hao hovers around 7th place, which makes me nervous. Zhang Hao is not only objectively beautiful and talented, but he’s also a really sincere and humble person, and I just think he’s a star. Please keep voting for Zhang Hao!
I'm honestly rooting for Keita because he has gone through YG training, which is like wild as fuck!! Like did you see his performance on Block B's "Zero for conduct"?? He was so relaxed and he slayed... It's weird that he's not on the Top 9. Zhang Hao said in one of the episodes that some of the K-Trainees don't have outside experience and he's worried for them, and I understand where he is coming from. Debuting is like landing on a huge job in a successful company thanks to a whole lot of past experiences and training. I'm aware that there are people who have debuted despite having 1-2 years of training, but different people have different abilities. I feel like anyone who takes Rank 6 is safe. This is because CLC Yujin was ranked 6th in the beginning and then she started go rise up. But Hui needs to be careful because he's not confident with his dancing. I remember one of the judges saying that they are looking for singers first, so Hui has a great benefit. In terms of support points, Hiroto, Zhang Hao, Wang Zihao has so much support!!
keita is so talented and has such a good attitude 🥲 and now that you bring it up what zhang hao said does kind of make me think about how different training regimens could impact g-group and k-group!! if they start teaming up for evaluations i wonder how that will play out
We have people like Olivia Hye who debuted in Loona after one day as a trainee. However Olivia Hye did train in a dance acedemy. Normally idols with short training times usually have experience some other training like vocal and dance academies so they have the skills to debut even if they did not train with the company for long.
to further clarify (not saying that you're wrong), what Zhang Hao was actually saying was that Yuehua K trainees did not undergo any training/classes outside of Yuehua's own internal training system.....Yujin and Gyuvin were probably too used to Yuehua's instructors' training styles and pace, hence they kinda struggled at the start trying to learn the signal song from the dance masters
When you said that you had 4 trainees that you were sure were debuting, Sung Hanbin, Zhang Hao, Han Yujin, and Kim Jiwoong immediately popped up in my head so yeah, that's very telling lol. I would bet my life on their debut. There is no way they're not making it. This is my first survival show so I literally don't know what to expect from the finale but kAJNHBGJNK as long as those four plus Anthonny and Taerae make it I will be happy
Keita has gone through a lot. He has trained under YG, and his training period is 9 years which is really crazy. And when he performs he’s really relaxed and it looks like that he is having the best time on stage, his also an all rounder which he can produce music, sing, rap, and dance. and I’m happy to see that there’s good editing about him and I hope he debutes. Keita fighting !! Also wish the best for other contestants!!
the seunghwan and seungyoun comparison is so accurate, i was literally like YES THANK YOU when you mentioned it. and based on round 1 rumours im pretty optimistic about him getting a good edit but im going to try and not get my hopes up too much.
He did get a minor angel edit in episode 2, he helps Daeul getting the confidence he needs, does won over Daeul stans K fans and I fans alike (hopefully his ranking go up abit)....hope more people will notice his many qualities and vote for him
he is so seungyoun it's crazy... and i'm also pretty optimistic about his edits! he just seems like a very solid choice and he'll be well loved for sure
With regard to what you said about Seowon and Woonggi; I think Seowon has a much better chance, because Woonggi has had almost no screentime in the first two episodes, and they're very obviously shipping Seowon with Jiwoong. The circumstances around Woonggi's removal from TO1 also make it not look good for him
you could definitely be right! i wanted to leave it open in case woonggi has a really good one pick chance but if it does come down to who gets the better editing then seowon will be in a much better place for sure
u predicted more than a half of the lineup which is already crazy the ones you missed, taerae had craazy korean fanbase, which definitely carried him (also panic voting definitely helped) ricky had huge intl fanbase and towards the end, he managed to get korean fanbase too, so he made it! matthew is the same case as ricky, him blowing up on tiktok even more personally, i was only surprised by gunwook and really underestimated his one pick fanbase
my fave na kamden is almost certainly not going to debut but best believe i’m going to be voting for him EVERY DAY because i want to see more of his talents and for him to not get eliminated. He’s an amazing rapper and dancer and everyone should check out the full rush hour performance
i think one-pick voting will benefit hui and kim jiwoong the best. hui has a great fandom in South Korea and from what i've seen jiwoong has tons of fans internationally. i'm just shocked that hui's international fanbase is torn between keeping him in pentagon or making him redebut in a new group. they should consider what made hui decide to be in show in the first place. if he knew that pentagon was in safe hands he for sure wouldn't have been a contestant in a survival show. so im rooting for hui to be in the final lineup.
hui does have a TON of support in korea and will definitely be a top pick for more casual watchers or kpop fans there. and i do agree that pentagon is probably in a lot more trouble than we can see
@@Multifandomgirl1499 He said why in the 2nd episode. Hui said after he got out of the army, he got back to Pentagon and the people who they used to work with didn't even want to work with them anymore. He then started thinking, "Are we really that bad that people don't want to work with us"? I think as the leader of Pentagon, he feels a lot of pressure to at least get his name out there and then, maybe more people will listen to Pentagon. I myself knew of Hui but never realized how talented he was until he got in this show, and I think a lot of people will see his charms/skills though this show.
@@vivianlee6098 Thank you so much for sharing. Looks like the episode I watched on Facebook wasn't complete. But I hope that he debuts or Pentagon go to another company together just like GOT7.
I really think Matthew could debut, I personally like traines similar to him such as Anthony and Cong, but Matthew being somewhat more all-rounded, having great chemistry with han bin, being humble and speaking English will give him a solid fanbase I hope. I'm already thinking of him as my one pick and I don't really think I'll change my mind
OP is super bold for predicting Zhang Hao will place 2nd (though that would be a dream scenario indeed). would absolutely be able to live with this predicted Top 9, and it would be a stellar group 💯 also agreed that nobody can hate our two K and G centers, they're seriously such well-rounded aces and absolute gems
i actually wasn't thinking about their specific places for that and i definitely should have lol 😭 but you know what let's go with it!! manifesting zhang hao 2nd place
I def think your reasoning stands for most the trainees! I def see how Seok Matthew reminds a lot of people of the Yurina situation from gp999 but because of that I think a lot of people will try and protect his place in top9 even more out of fear! this might be my wishful thinking tho since he is in my top 3 picks
i think we'll get a better sense of how strong his fanbase is within the next few episodes!! but he has super high chances especially since he is pretty popular with korean fans :)
that's... so sad 😭 when looking into him i was so surprised that 1the9 is the only break he's had. he has a lot of great qualities but has just been very unlucky i guess
@@serikeu that's why most of his stans hope that this can finally be his big break, he went through alot....it will be such a waste to lose someone that so talented as he is
i really was hoping mnet would've given him a sob story/backstory because fans eat that up (i still haven't given up) anyways i really hope he debuts literally my fav
came back here after the announcement. u predicted the k:g ratio of 6:3 and got the 5/9, not bad. i'm happy matthew made it but it saddens me that keita was the one who pulled yurina card.
So now is more than half way of the show and we can see that your top 4 predictions are super accurate and it's very unlikely to change. However the other 5 spots are changing so dramatically. Don't know what's gonna happen!
honestly its a set rule now in survival shows that the center/s in the signal song make it into the final lineup theyre the first ones that catches the new viewers eyes
plus towards the end if their rankings do fall for some reason people will vote very hard for them. if the streak eventually does get broken i just can't see it happening with hanbin or zhang hao!
i just can’t possibly see the debut line up without hanbin and zhang hao esp cause the producers are pushing them a lot and they have positive response from both korean and international fans
@@mae6565 I see some people saying that Zhang Hao is gradually growing a korean fanbase, so I'm remaining hopeful and banking on that! besides Ifans support, he will really need korean fans support to debut as well
Wang Zihao is one of the trainees that can absoluty debut if he can advanced to final. Wang Zihao already possess 1 pick fans despite of lack of screentime.
My picks are Zhang Hao, Ricky, Hanbin, Kim Jiwoong, Hui, Krystian, Dang Hong Hai, Anthony, and Han Yujin. I'm not sure how many of them will debut but I'll still vote for them. I'm also considering Matthew, Seungwhan and Jay. It sucks only 9 can debut when there are lots of talented trainees.
Fr 9 people seem so less when there are so many talents in the show. I hope that despite not all of them ending up in the debut lineup, they still get attention when they debut in their own company's groups
My Picks are (in not particular order) 1. Jay 2. Sung Hanbin 3. Matthew 4. Keita 5. Lee Seunghwan 6. Wang Zi Hao (Liked him a lot on episode 2!!!!!) 7. Zhang Hao 8. Kamden (I think a lot of rappers are underappreciated. There was no rap commentary from the demo stages :( Looking forward to the cover stages) 9. Hui (not so sure about him though) My picks are mostly G-group and I know it's unlikely to happen. Knowing they'll surely debut 5-6 Koreans.
I wish i could give my daily nine votes to him he’s incredibly talented and charismatic and definitely deserves to debut i want to see more of him for the next years
I really resonate with this logic. Mnet showcasing Keita made me notice him to the point he made it to my top 9, the member I'm most unsure of when it comes to voting is Hui : I truly like him and want him to accomplish the succes he deserves, but I'm not sure if redebuting is his end-goal, plus the dynamic with his future teammates could be kinda odd since there are a lot teens that are likely to debut (If I could handpick the age range of the group it would be like 98s-05s)
I am really rooting for Wumuti to debut despite knowing that he probably has negative chances .....I feel like no one notices or talks about him... but I really hope he does amazing in life with that beautiful voice .❤️
Same. Hopefully Wumuti's fans from his Under Nineteen days will tune in. His vocals have improved so much, along with his Korean fluency. And his dancing and overall performance are still top notch!!
i’m honestly rooting for woonggi and sungmin so hard right now; i’ve been supporting both of them since i saw them on road to kingdom and rediscovered them on edward avila’s channel - them both being removed from to1 was so surprising to me as they were both my biases out of the two of them, i do feel like woonggi has the highest chance considering that he was one of the most popular members of to1 and also has got a decent amount of girl group stans that could push him up the ranks, and from what i’ve seen so far a lot of boys planet fans do love woonggi hoping they can debut together or at least one of them can - vote for cha woong ki and oh sungmin !
About Seunghwan, I feel like he's getting more and more popular recently and he's definitely a strong candidate for actually making it to the top 9 at some point of the show, he's literally got everything to debut again. There's 3 contestant that I'm 100% sure will make it unless they suddenly start getting evil editing (I don't think that'll happen though) : Hanbin, Zhang Hao and Jiwoong ; it wouldn't make any sense if they end up not making it to the group. About Yujin I don't really know how I personally feel about him yet, but he's growing on me! I really want Taerae to debut but he has almost no screen time at all, like people know him yet people don't know him at the same time :'DD ?? I also wanted to talk about Doha, I see two possible outcome for him. We'll have a Minkyu situation again (people are making fun of him everywhere), he's still really popular, he'll make it to the final without debuting and he might focus more on acting. Or he'll get a Sohye (IOI) situation were he actually debuts. I have a soft spot for trainees like him ; despite having a short training time I don't think he's that bad actually, I see him more on the rapper side and I hope we'll get to see that later on the show. He seems really passionate about was he's doing and he is willing to improve and show a better version of himself, he's also surrounded by top trainees which can be really helpful, he'll get to improve in such a short period and take the role of the dark horse perhaps ? For Hui, I don't really know if I want him in the lineup. Especially if the group is going to be a permanent group ?? Another comment said that already but I also feel like he's not planning on getting in the final lineup and is mainly participating to bring more exposure to Pentagon so I'm feeling a bit conflicted about his case. Anywayyyy I'm so excited for this week's episode, this is gonna be interesting to see if the producers will keep highlighting the same trainees, I'm pretty sure this round will play a big part on determining who might actually make it to the final top 9. Oh yeah, here are my picks : Doha, Haruto, Taerae, Seunghwan, Jay, Ricky, Seowon, Hanbin and Zhang Hao
i have a soft spot for doha too ☹ the possibility of top trainees helping him improve is definitely a kind of story arc i could see for him! and the group almost definitely won't be permanent, when they opened applications for the show this seemed to be the route they wanted to take but they can't do that now since the contestants are from other companies
@@havensohn3821 yeah that’s what I was thinking too but I’ve seen a lot of people saying that it might actually be permanent so I was kinda confused haha
Seungwoo and Seungyoun got low rank in early time but they gained fans because of their talents and personality. Their ranks rise from 60s to Top 5. Who knows there will be trainees like them. I'm sure things will completely change.
we can't really use pdx as reference because it was rigged but i agree that any trainees can climb up in ranks if mnet starts giving them screentime to showcase their personality more
I feel like they might want to keep Jay in the sense if they want to go global like America they have an English speaker. But seok Mathew could also fill this role. If I were mnet I would try to get Japanese contestants to break into the Japansse market. Chinese contestants are somewhat of a low priority bc they can't really promote in China. But China bars would increase the sales of the group. Also I feel like girls planet some people are just filler votes. So some at the top will end up dropping drastically in the end. Until the 1 pick system comes into play it'll be hard to tell
i personally don't think they're going to target north america, they'll probably prioritize japan and i think they'll even be pretty popular in korea. but it really depends on who gets in the final group so everything you said is very possible!
I'm still hoping the group's popularity will be like x1 but that's unlikely to happen so far. But if they can't, at least try to pull an iz*one card who's very popular both korea and japan😪
i really, REALLY hope keita would debut. he's got everything--he can dance, rap, and sing well. askjfbjkabj but honestly aside from the boys you mentioned, i believe there'll be a dark horse that we don't expect. like at all (cough cough park woojin & seungyeon). its gonna be so interesting then.
did you mean choi woojin? because i've actually been REALLY surprised that he's not getting any screentime and he's not more popular. and seungeon is ranking really well right now but i definitely see what you mean!!! no one's really expecting him to debut but he has a lot of potential
So i just remembered watching this video and it's quite fun to look back, I mean in the end you got 5/9 right, but 2/9 didn't even make the final round, it just shows how there are some more or less 'fixed' contestants from the start but also some really unpredictable rises (which is part of the fun while watching)
im making this prediction before i see your final prediction (just for fun lol) in no particular order : 1. sung hanbin 2. zhang hao 3. han yujin 4. kim jiwoong 5. lee hoe taek 6. seok matthew 7. keita 8. park gunwook 9. kim gyuvin edit : omg lol we had the exact same prediction for the top 4??? imo it will have a 6:3 ratio (K:G) update after the second elimination : 8/9 correct, i didn’t expect hui to drop out of top 9
@@liezltan1887 it’s not my top 9 btw! this is just a prediciton of who i think the final lineup will consist of my personal top 9 is sung hanbin, zhang hao, matthew, keita, yujin, jay, gunwook, kum junhyeon and chen kuan lui 🙆🏻♀️
i want haruto to debut so bad but unfortunately right now he’s not as popular as the other g group trainees and considering the final lineup will most likely only contain 3-4 g group trainees the chance of him debuting is more slim. i hope he gets more screen time and builds a bigger fan base in the future !
i really want jay debuts because he would be a perfect main vocal in an idol group and i think that for now they're showing it a lot. jiwoong is an obvious one because of the big fanbase related to his acting career, especially the bl part. from the editing i'd say they REALLY want gunwook to be in the group and they obviously want as few chinese guys an possible. on the other hand it feels like they're using hui only for the angst and the sad story because that's all they're showing for now. and the two "my house" dudes are being put in there just for laughs
I really want gunwook to debut. His dancing and stage presence is really next level. He has that charm that attracts people. I'm really gonna cry if he doesn't debut. I really don't want such a talent to go to waste.
Please same i will cry a river he's such a powerful dancer, his stage presence is insane, main rapper material and his vocals are beautiful. He's a talented all rounder i really really hope he gets to debut
yes he is so underrated and people keep thinking that he was being disrespectful when he even cried because he felt sorry for his teammates when they lost because he was guilty when they were able to perform that well because of his decisions and lead.
@@serikeu omg 😭😭 no fr, i could listen to you talk for HOURS. and i understand everything you say because your diction is incredible !! i’m looking forward to more uploads. 🫶🫶🫶
My personal picks (not necessarily in a particular order) are: 1. Kim Gyuvin 2. Han Yujin 3. Sung Hanbin 4. Park Gunwook 5. Kim Jiwoong 6. Seok Matthew 7. Keita 8. Zhang Hao 9. Jay The first 6 are my non negotiables, if they don't debut I'll be throwing myself from a bridge :)
based on episode 3, i think Jay is gonna have a better chance of debuting just from talent alone. I really hope people don’t drop him just cause he is “cringey”. His kind of talent deserves to debut.
If anyone can debut on pure talent it's him. Let's hope for the best 🤞 And kpop idols are often required to act cringey anyways (on variety shows, at fanmeetings and in MV's depending on the concept), idk why people act like it's a negative when in reality he has extra experience for the job
its not even just cause hes cringey its also the fact that he surrounded himself with shitty people who kinda just take caution around him cause if yourself have shitty friends what does that say about you like theres than just “cringey” as to why people dont like him
@@enhaeclipse Those weren't his friends. They were people on his discord, which functioned as a fancafé. And yes, there were rules against racism and homophobia. It's not his fault some people decided to be shitty on a discord server. It's ridiculous to villainize him for other peoples actions like this
@@enhaeclipse those weren’t his friends. just random ppl on discord! jay was rarely online in the server too. also his family are very anti racism, homophobia, pro feminism etc. and jay has shown support too! he is clearly anti racism n so on.
i don't know why i didn't think about this but for the final prediction i didn't really consider the rankings themselves. i just put the guys in there in a rough order of who i think is most likely to make it so the rankings don't really mean anything 😭 also since this is a long video you might want to watch it in 1.5x speed!
I'm predicting a very heavily pushed jiwoong/seowon ship by the edit soon but idk if it will be enough to get seowon to debut.. I would also add Matthew to the almost certainly debuting lineup actually, I think he has a lot of 1 pick potential with western fans and he's ethnically Korean so he's not going to have the same disadvantage as other g group trainees when it comes to kvoters. I don't think hui will make the final group because he really does not fit the image that mnet will be going for, I think they're gonna do everything they can to get him out of there, in which case taerae will be pushed as main vocal. I'm also hoping for yoo seungeon to debut, he stood out the most to me in the yuehua k group performance but that's less likely given him currently being overshadowed by other k yuehua trainees.. but I agree 100% with Zhang hao, sung hanbin and kim jiwoong. lee seunghwan is my no1 tho I will personally make sure he debuts 😭😭
i think seowon and jiwoong are actually friends too so the ship edit will probably continue lol! and i actually think seungeon will continue to get more popular
@@serikeu he has the main vocal part for the aju nice stage next round so as long as he does well in that he'll hopefully move up the rankings a lot 🙏🙏
seunghwan definitely reminds me of seungyoun and i'm so glad you said it bc i thought i was the only one lmao. i think seunghwan is definitely going to be the dark horse and make it in the final line up. he's popular but not necessarily in everyone's top nine so i think he'll slowly creep up ppl's lists as the season carries on. vote for seunghwan everyone!!
Im trying to push boys planet onto my non-kpop friends so that i can get the to vote for Chen Kuan Jui because I totally fell in love with him in the first episode. I have no idea about his one pick voting power and how the producers view him, but from the star support page it seems like he might have a good chance.
im really rooting for park hanbin!! im sad to see his popularity isnt that big, i expected him to gain a lot of recognition too😭especially because his bluebhair stood out- but being a name twin with one of the most popular trainees might also negatively impact :,)
this video pretty much summarized my thoughts on possible line up however i hope seunghwan and matthew could make it to the final top9 (maybe instead of junghyun and hiroto respectively if mnet will choose to push lsh a bit more)
I would love a follow up on this video after the last elimination or after the show is over! Comparing how it went different (and why) or exactly as you predicted
My Top 9 (by age order) 1. Lee Seung Hwan (2000) 2. Zhang Hao (2000) - G (CHINA) 3. Jay (2001) - G (USA) 4. Sung Han Bin (2001) 5. Seok Matthew (2002) - G (CANADA) 6. Kim Tae Rae (2002) 7. Kim Gyu Vin (2004)** not too sure about him 8. Mun Jeong Hyun (2005) 9. ????** (my 2 current top picks are Mun Jeong Hyun & Sung Han Bin)- ** I'm not too sure about any other picks, there are so many contestants. I want to hear your recommendations. (also I'm not putting Hui in my lineup because I think it would be better for him to return to PENTAGON after the airing of the show. The group would struggle even more if they had to promote without their leader. They have also had many members leave, go to military service or go on indefinite hiatus. Also, I'm predicting that most trainees that will debut are born in the 2000's it might make it awkward for the team dynamic to work with someone who is both much older and a big 선배 in the industry. (IZ*ONE managed success without having a well known debuted korean idol in their lineup) I also want to see new talents and dreams being realised. It includes idols which didn't really experience real success with their former groups or promoted for a short time.
Honestly watching this in 2024, I'm getting goosebumps over the analysis, obviously not 100% correct but I like how you nailed it with the observations of most of the contestants, and how each contestant is used for clout.
Gun wook was a contestant on a survival show called Wild Idol. He made it all the way to final round and just missed out on making the debut lineup. He was really good on that show and I was really rooting for him. I think he’s grown a lot since then and I think that previous experience of being on a survival show is helping give him confidence to step more into leadership, take charge roles and the other jellyfish trainees seem to really trust his judgment probably because of that. He knows how these survival shows go. I think he has a lot of potential to make it really far in this show and I would love to see him finally debut
as much as i love jay, i completely agree that he doesn't have the image that producers and voters are looking for. he's way too talented for him to be concealed or evil edited without raising suspicion BUT they're already including comments from the judges and contestants talking about about his "american/pop" image, i think they're very much already saying "you're cool but we don't want you" sigh i hope the best for him
yes i've been having trouble putting it into words but it's small things like that that led to me this assumption! with jay, the editing he's gotten so far could seem like an obvious push from producers but there are small things including the emphasis on his american image i'm catching that just give me a feeling he's not necessarily a producer pick. i am a little more fuzzy about his chances now that he's getting so popular so we'll just have to see what happens
@@serikeu if he makes it it would honestly be a surprise. but if he doesn't, at least his newfound popularity will hopefully help him get a chance somewhere else, i think he deserves it
Hey! Now that BP999 is done, I would love to see an update on the actual line-up VS your prediction and your thoughts! So yeah! I really love your content!! Love u!!
This is the final line up: 1. Zhang hao 2. Sung Hanbin 3. Matthew 4. Ricky 5. Gunwook 6. Taerae 7. Gyuvin 8. Jiwoong 9. Han yujin I'm can't believe that Keita didn't make it 😭😭😭
mun junghyun has been my #1 pick since the here i am fancams came out. theres just something about the dude. but i didnt really expect anything since he was rarely highlighted and talked about much. literally caught off guard with the amount of screentime he got on the first few episodes 💀 bros unfortunately underrated
She was terribly right: 3:6 ratio for korean trainees. 5 spots correct for the first assumption, two of her back ups made it. So yes, Mnet is predictable
tbh I agree with all the points you stated and it kind of makes me sad cause ik by the end the ranking of some trainees will drop drastically and some might just debut because of their good looks instead of talent personally i really want jay and gunwook to debut they both are really good vocalists especially jay and guwook's personality kind of reminds me of kang daniel from produce but he is being evil edited and being shown as someone with attitude and ego
i actually don't think gunwook is really being evil edited! i think the producers are showing much more of his positive traits, sometimes the producers will show contestants that have very high confidence because it adds character and screentime for them. i could be wrong since it's only episode 2, but i don't think you have to worry too much about gunwook's editing!
Jay is one of my Main picks, and I'm pretty sure he isn't debuting. I think producers are setting him up for failure the way he's getting good edits on early episodes. Seok Matthew is very likely to debut with how his storyline is being played out. He's pretty well rounded, and I might be delusional, but I think he can pull of a Somi and rank number 1 on the Finale. As much as I don't want Han Yujin to debut(because of his age), He's definitely going to debut, and I think a good center candidate. I just see him as the Wonyoung/Ahn Yujin of this season. Hui could have a similar fate as Yujin(clc/Kepler) but the thing is, I don't think Hui wants to win. Every 'already debuted' idol in this shows always state that they want another shot at debut but Hui only wants validation(?) Idk I don't really mind him in the group, he's a good Vocalist too. Also I think Hiroto is the safest Japanese trainee to put in the group and the producers want him over Keita. I don't see the problem in debuting them both though. Hanbin is fully eligible for the center position of the final group. The 'signal song center curse' isn't technically true since Sakura was supposed to be the final center(yes I will die on this hill). Kim Jiwoong is Kim Jiwoong. He needs to debut for the gays.
Wang Zihao til the end. Yes, you are right, the very minimal screentime made it difficult for nonfans to even recognize him. But we do admit, being in Yixing's agency has made it possible to get the attention of EXO-ls and Xbacks, who have been voting for him together with his solo fanbase. Everyone is rallying for him to debut given that he has the entire package - visuals, talent, and personality. Honestly, his backstory is also something that has to be heard.
I think Seok Matthew is a guarantee. He’s ethnically korean and doesn’t struggle with the language barrier. After episode three, i think he can ride his current popularity wave all the way to debut. Mnet is scheming a G group comeback story where they lose every competition until the group battles. I think Matthew is the “ideal” pick from G group besides Zhang Hao.
I love this video! You did a great job of explaining yourself and I think your theories on who's gonna make it really sound solid. It felt like you put into words a lot of what I was thinking. I agree with the four who you think are gonna make it: Jiwoong: stans who like visuals, the gays, and mnet all love him so Idt anything is gonna go bad for him Honestly a shoe-in. With his one pick power, I would not be surprised if he ranks top 2 in the finale. Sung Hanbin/Zhang Hao: Hanbin feels like the Dayeon of BP but I'm kinda eating it up. Zhang Hao feels like a guaranteed G group spot in the group since he's popular, well-liked, talented, and pretty. He's hovering around the lower top 9 so I would not be surprised halfway through the show if he drops out of top 9 or goes to 9th and people start panic voting for him. Yujin/Gyuvin?: According to spoilers they both drop to 3 star and based on ep 3 preview they'll probably make a sad edit for Yujin and then the standard 'he'll work hard to prove himself' narrative. I can see them tagging Gyuvin onto this as well, since we've been shown that Gyuvin cares a lot about Yujin. So far they feel like a package deal but I feel like if only one of them could make it, it would be Yujin. I would not be surprised if Gyuvin stays top 9 then doesn't make it or his rank gets progressively lower as the show goes on, but he still makes it to the finale. Other people I think are in the running for debut: Hui: Basically Yujin when she was in GP999. Circumstances are different but same premise; senior idol joining survival show for another shot at success. If this was the rigged days of Produce he would make it to the end then not make the group. With Hui, I feel like he's fine and I think his one-pick power is strong enough to keep him top 9. Matthew: Same concern as you: Idk if he'll have the one pick power by the finale, cause rn the way I see it, Hanbin fans are voting for Matthew as well because of their dynamic, then when one-pick comes around, they'll go back to Hanbin. They're definitely setting up Hanbin/Matthew as a Chaeyeon/Sakura dynamic so I do think he's gonna make it, but his rank might be low, like 8th or 9th for the drama LOL. Other trainees I want but Idk if they'll debut: Keita: Really impressed me; trainee time is working to his advantage, but I can see mnet throwing him to the sidelines unless he continues to perform and excel. Think Mashiro from GP999, girlie won every mission she was in, and as a result got screen time from that even if she wasn't the focus. Keita I feel would need something like that. Park Gunwook: Idk what they're going with him. He's getting semi-good? edits and screen time but I feel like it's all building for a villain arc that could destroy him Cai Bing style. Maybe I'm just being pessimistic but Idk if he'll make it, but I could see him being in the finale. Seo Won: Also don't know what they're doing with him. I think Mnet likes his visuals, expressions, etc, but they don't like him as a part of the group so they're just using his image and reactions to amplify other trainees. They didn't show his performance or anything but kept cutting to him for confessionals or reactions. Woonggi also applies here. Hiroto: Bro has gotten nothing so idt they want him lol. His one pick is strong so I think he'll go far but without screentime Idk if his one pick is strong enough for him to pull a Bahiyyih. Hopefully he actually gets some screen time in the future. Anthonny also applies here for me. Jay: From ep previews, it seems like they're trying to set up Jay vs Hui as a main vocal battle, and I feel like Hui would win that, I think viewers are more likely to pick Hui over Jay. Again, Idk about his one-pick power but I think he'll make it to the finale or 3rd round. Haruto also applies here for me. What do you think will be the final distribution of the group? I'm currently voting for 4K5G but that's unrealistic for the final group lol. I'm personally hoping for 5K4G since most of my picks are G but that's prolly not gonna happen either lol. I can see the group being 6:3 or 7:2 lol.
i think the final ratio will be 6k3g just like kep1er! if not it would probably only be 7k2g but that ratio would cause a lot of outrage. 5k4g is unlikely and definitely something the producers don't want but it's always a possibility!
this is such a well thought out video - i havent been following boys planet much but your reasoning is so well thought out i completely understood all your points
Idk about Hui not ending up in the debut line (I feel like he's way too talented and seasoned not to, but he is older than what MNET and most kfans want). I do feel like Hui joining Boys Planet likely means that Pentagon won't resign or have already quietly disbanded, because as far as I know their contract with Cube ends late 2023 (correct me if I'm wrong) which pains me a lot. Also, the fact that Hui and another Pentagon member wrote WannaOne's Energetic stings. This must be so humbling for him (probably not in a good way) but he seems to be a fair sport about it til now.
it's definitely sad to watch. i think his options might be even worse than we know because he probably had to swallow a LOT of pride to make this decision
ಥ‿ಥ I have no idea what will happen in the future. Last year before vlive officially ended, two members reassured us not to worry, and "nothing's going to change" even though we might feel like that. And one member (Shinwon,) who has a radio show, told us that he is someone who sticks to same places, and contracts. (Which is a really strong hint of whether he'll re-sign... ) Everything is so unclear.... Today PTG is performing at MIK Festival in Paris, yet CUBE (as always) never told us how many members will be there ...
Cube didnt really treat Pentagon as a disbanding group. They were highly active last year already deciding on the comeback and preparing for it. It looks more like this opportunity came in the middle to pause the current plan and try for aiming more general attention through Hui. The story they spun around Hui is was different from actual reality, which makes it quiet weird to watch but I guess as long as Cube gets those stats out they want Hui can drop out on his own merit before the show ends.
Coming to this vid after the finale and 5/9 predictions were true, and I'd also like to share my thoughts on what happened. Most surprising thing that happened: Zhanghao center, 4 yuehuaz, C-line being in top 4. And explanations for why I think each member debuted and why I think Keita didnt bcs he was so robbed. - Zhang Hao: Loved by both knetz and intl fans, pretty obvious - Sung Hanbin: Same explanation as hao. - Seok Matthew: Say My Name edit almost became his down fall, but seokryudans went crazy in final week. - Ricky: Popular from PR video and a lot of knetz liked him - Gunwook: Im not super sure but i think his is from promotions his fans did + appeal his personality - Taerae: got low screentime till the very end but knetz fell in love from vids like ireumi boyeo and man in love. last interim woke up kkultaraes who were rotating and managed to put him back in top 9 Gyuvin: Extremely popular in korea but got unnecessary hate from intl voters and got called a "dozen" (term should've never left ncity) Jiwoong: Pre-show popularity but also got hate from ppl who watched the show exclusively on TikTok Yujin: Again popularity in Korea, almso thought he wasnt ginna make it bcs i didn't see that many votes in one pick but k-netz saved him Why Keita didn't debut: Although extremely popular internationally he got a lot of hate from knetz foe the most uselsess things and P18 in k-votes.
Please keep on voting for Anthonny!!! i wanted him to debut this time. He went far on Produce 101 Japan S2 and ranked 16th in the finale so i really want him to debut this time!!!
Please vote for Kim Min Seoung, he was a former LOUD contestant. He has red hair and did the flip during NUNU NANA. He is really talented since he can sing, dance, rap, and do acrobatics. His rankings are really low at the moment since he has no dedicated fanbase, so please give him a chance. Vote for talent and skill, vote Kim Min Seoung
WAIT HES FROM LOUD?!? LMAOO I’ve been voting for him without even knowing, I thought it was only haruto and yedam on this show 😭😭 He’s so good!! It’s unlikely he’ll debut but I really liked his audition performance
@@kas_ualties7692 I agree, the Mnet favoritism does him so dirty. I really hope he becomes successful in life. But I’m still going to vote for him every day 💗

I am honestly surprised that Mnet is giving Kim Jiwoong so much screentime and such a good edit so far. I thought being a BL actor and therefore having videos of him passionately making out with another man all over the internet would be too much of a brandrisk for them. Perhaps they weighed their options and ultimately just went "But he's so hot tho...", I hope they don't switch up on him later
i kind of thought the same?? he was getting a lot of homophobic backlash before the season started so i was worried the producers might sabotage him but thankfully they're not doing that and i don't *think* they will later considering that they aired him talking about BL
@serikeu That honestly SHOCKED me, I wasn't surprised that he would openly say that he's a BL actor because it's always been very clear he isn't ashamed of that but I did not expect them to A: Keep it in the edit and B: Show a clip from his latest drama. I hope he continues to do well. Speaking of, I'll go vote for him right now actually
I have a secret theory that they made this the gayest season ever on purpose to capitalize on shipping culture. Hanbin specializes in historically gay dances (whacking and tutting) and has a cute friendship with Matthew, Jiwoong does BL, Seo Won and Woonggi are in the same dorm covering Hype Boy, Doha confessed his love, Anthonny, Haruto, Kuanjui, Sungmin, Ricky, Jongwoo, etc etc
@@taranoreilly5101 love this theory
@@taranoreilly5101 Gays Planet 😍
Jay should go solo if he’s not picked. He’s so talented and it will be obvious by then that the K-System doesn’t value in a boy group his potential. Which is crazy to me.
is he debut solo in korea he'll flop
jay harmonizing and hitting the high notes in love me right was god tier
he looked like such an npc in some of the zoom ins that its so funny too
he went solo already tho!he just doesn’t has that many songs…
Non korean soloist would have a hard chance to make it in kpop examples: natty and alexa
Isn't he already in FM Entertainment's group's debut lineup along with Beomhan?
I think out of all the G-group trainees Seok Matthew actually has the highest chance of debuting. Yes even higher than Zhang Hao. He's ethnically Korean so he won't be negatively impacted by the nationality bias and Mnet has already given him plenty of screentime to establish him as his own separate person with a compelling backstory.
Anthonny and Kim Taerae are both under W1 so I wouldn't count them out. Especially Kim Taerae, I think he has Kim Chaehyun upside to him. (And if Hui for some reason isn't in the finale I'd say Taerae's almost a guarantee). As for Jay, he's probably a shoo-in for the finale but I agree that the 50% weighing of Korean votes will likely keep him from debuting.
There's no way Mnet will let Wang Zihao debut. He'll probably be gone after the 2nd round, and if he somehow sticks around he's still lacking in the Korean support needed to debut. Sure, Huening Bahiyyih had more international fans (ranking 1st in global votes) but she still ranked 7th in Korean votes. I don't think Zihao has that or will be able to cultivate that. The star support also doesn't fully show who has the most 1pick support bc people are able to use multiple accounts to vote for it, which isn't possible for the official voting.
I agree about Matthew!! I have a feeling that he can debut and be considered as a "Global" person despite being Korean. But I ain't complaining 💕💕
I'm not the best at analysing but I saw in the mnet app that Zihao haa the highest support like 80% or smth
So how can he not debut when he has so much support from the fans
taerae anthonny and jay will probably all make it to finale so it wouldn't definitely wouldn't be impossible! for zihao you're probably right, i do still think his one pick will seriously catch a lot of people off guard but the chances of actually debuting are slim for sure. he'll have a lot of odds against him
@@daze5901 In GP999 there was a similar support voting. Okazaki Momoko won 1st place for it and she was eliminated in the first elimination. Her cell ranked 18th and she wasn't even the most popular trainee in her cell, Wen Zhe was gaining them most of their support (J21 vs C11)
@@daze5901 mnet has two different votes, the vote you're talking about is "support vote". Yes, Zihao gets votes there faster than others, but this vote does not affect trainee's ranking in the standings, it just gives some bonuses to trainee, and this vote is individual.
In the voting that affects the place of trainees in the standings and their passage to the next round, as of February 9, Zihao was in 38th place, in this voting you can only vote for 9 trainee at once, so even if you vote for your favorite, you will somehow have to vote for another 8 trainee, therefore, the results here can be quite unexpected.
Sorry for my clumsy English, I hope that what I was able to explain clearly
not even halfway in the video, and I'm so impressed on how you really studied the pasts shows and everything. the science partner we all needed in school lmao!
thank you 😭!! some of this is what i've naturally picked up on while watching the shows but it took a long time to research and verify everything
honestly with keita's level of talent it will be such a shame if he doesn't make it, when you look at people who really deserve to debut he is definitely one of the first names that comes to mind! great video by the way!!
Yes he is the most deserving one compare some higher rank than him, if the judge will vote too for sure keita will be in top 9 but if only fans can vote i'm not sure and i'm not happy with it
@@liezltan1887 yes you’re right! he would 100% debut based on pure talent if there was a judges score, let’s hope people will vote for him and he’ll make it
my one goal is to just not get attached to anyone other than sung hanbin and zhang hao who are basically guaranteed to debut or else i know im gonna go through so much pain 💀
How can you not get attached?😭 That would be so hard.
Lmao that’s exactly my plan too hahaha 😭 cause my heart has been broken so many times during the previous produce shows. well but i think I’m already failing 💀
I don’t like the rhetoric that anyone is guaranteed to debut, especially foreign trainees. Xiaoting was a center for gp999 and she almost didn’t make it because people thought like this and voted for people “less safe”. It’s unfortunate but especially after the latest episode, some knetz are saying they won’t vote for any Chinese trainees at all. So please vote for the trainees you want even if they seem popular online. nothing is guaranteed and knetz can and will turn on anyone, especially foreign trainees, easily!
@@sampam123This is so true, at this point 7/9 of my current votes are for G trainees

is it selfish for me to hoping keita, Zhang hao, jay, and seok matthew all debuting? i hope we'll have four place for G-Group.
Edit : guys, now I want wang zi hao in the group too 😭😭😭😭 I'm being selfish for real now

And want them to debut
But...😅😅😅
I don't think this is being selfish bc I also want to debut at least four trainees from G group, but I'm not sure if mnet is going to accept it I mean they always emphasize that it is a "kpop" show competition that's why I don't know if it would be this easier for 4 G-group trainees debut I think they will make 2 of them debut at most however I'd be really happy if 4 of them debut
if not four I hope mnet make at least 3 trainees from G group to debut
All four of these guys are my top picks! They’re one of the best if not the best of G-Group and the most debut-ready, especially Jay. All of them are stacked with talent and so much potential.
Sometimes I feel like I am the only one rooting for Park Gunwook. I barley see people talk about him. I think it has to do with Mnet evil editing making him appear cocky, too confident or rude when he isn’t any of those things. He is a whole sweetheart and is doing what he can to win. He isn’t ranked high enough which was surprising to me because he has it all. Visual, Stage presence, Dancing, and Singing. He really ate it up during the first episode and I still can’t believe he isn’t ranked above. Anyways Gunwook fighting!! You will debut. Also rooting for Jay, Hanbin and Zhang hao, Ji woong and Ricky!!!
no i love him too
He is my number one pick for now hope he debuts
He's my one pick too!
He is my main pick, if he doesn't debut I'm going to be really sad
My one pick since day 1 ! People need to be louder about him >
I HATE the one pick system, if I'm voting for a debut group then LET ME VOTE FOR THE AMOUNT OF MEMEBERS IN THE GROUP!!!
It's not like I want to be a solo stan, and ignore the other members of the group, I want to enjoy them as a whole, so I completely don't get why we're always required to vote for one or two people at the final.
Loved the video! Exited to see how everything will turn out! Hopefully I'll like the debut members 😅
I actually like 1 pick because my picks get hated a lot by fandom but are loved by strong fandom. So no 1 pick better stay.
honestly i agree. one pick encourages solo stanning and infighting with the fandom as we see is happening with kepler
it's the reason why these mnet groups were always crazy successful, they make sure that each member of the group has a substantial and dedicated fanbase that will potentially buy anything that comes from the group because their #1 made it
I don't think that's the problem I'm more then willing to like the group as long as my no1 pick. There's no excuse for the inhumanity people show to people that weren't in their ideal line up. And I'm not sorry but Im judging you for that if you get upset because you are greedy and want everyone of your picks to make it instead of being happy for the trainees. To me this is just an excuse people use fir themselves so that they can feel free to hate trainees they didn't want when the truth is you are just greedy shitty people. I think fans after having a few top picks should instead have a general pool of trainees they'll be happy with to like. I think is greedy to be upset if not everyone in your top 9 makes it and if you didn't vote for them then that's on you. I for one have a few picks that I like simply because of their relationship to my 1 pick but I'm not getting my hopes up and that's fine. I don't think there's any trainee I dislike or can't learn to love after all they'll be my favs teammate if my pick makes it.
@@ni-kingtaehyunjkyoongs2758 It's not like I hate the people that get to debut, for example for i-land I was voting for my faves but some of them didn't debut because of the lack of support from other fans and that was ok, but mostly I'm thinking about those times when very popular trainees didn't get to debut because they thought "oh that person is safe, so I'll vote for my second pick" and many times it resulted in the first pick not debuting.
This happened with K from &Team on I-land, Gaku on &Audition and people on Produce too.
So it's not that the others shouldn't have debuted or anything like that. Others maybe think so, but not me. Imo it just creates somewhat a mess when there could have been no mess at all by voting for the number of the debut members, because still the most popular ones would be the ones to debut.
sung han bin, zhang hao, kim ji woong, lee seunghwan, park gunwook, jay, wang zi hao, seok matthew and keita as a group would top the charts of kpop and would have all eyes on them. i just know they would get the attention of everyone around the world
ifans seem to hate jay
@@Pr0d3gi really? But why?
@@Pr0d3gi i think there's a high chance that international fans will realizes that the only drama he's in is for his past cringy demeanor and see how much talent he has. Jay has proven time and time again that his singing skills and stage presence has been way too good (in another kpop survival show his talent was outstanding and obvious to be chosen but he didn't and fans were so confused/enraged why not). In the beginning I saw clips of him being cringy and I didn't like it but again it was years ago and if he is still like that today it wouldn't matter. He takes in feedback very seriously and is very reflective of himself (he's an introvert but on boys planet stage he makes himself extroverted to do his best stage that amazes the contestants and judges) and from episode 2 of his confidence lowering from seeing everyone on track (a lot of them are dancers and he is not - still a great dancer tho), when it came to perform for the judges he made sure to not whow his worries and insecurity and in the end executed perfectly from singing to dancing and facial expression. I can't believe I have to back him up but he's just innocent. He is reliable, reflective, and so outstanding. To any international fans that don't like him please don't fall into the propaganda. He says he find boys planet to be his last chance and he has been trying to debut for so long. If it's not Jay, then will he just be history? You can't look away from him hes always in your attention and thats what makes an idol stand out. Please support him and don't fall into the propaganda. He really is undeserving and its so great to see people recognizing his talent in episode 2 landing in top 9 🎉
@@texturedair2276 yesss, tbh I find Jay really cringey but his talent kinda overlooks that for me. He’s hardworking and is capable of growth, even if he doesn’t make it in the line-up I still think he’ll be able to be a successful western artist. The rumors about his racist past seems really fishy though, imo there is less evidence to back ppl’s claims. Jay has support from his ceo, friends, public figures such as alexa and kevin. He’s shown positive reception to lgbtq fans, protests, and parades. And by the way people are reacting by calling him derogatory terms and dogpiling on him without actual evidence (that can be easily edited) looks like another case of cancel culture (ex. garam, woojin) That is to say though, I’m neutral. If he makes it, he makes it, if he doesn’t then I also won’t be that upset.
@@Pr0d3gi it's not even that many peopl, they're just a really loud minority on twitter
As long as Sung Han Bin and Zhang Hao debut together,✊🏻 everything else is fine.
me and you same
haobin nation rise!!
And matthew
and jay
Mnet already favors them so dont worry.
i do hope keita makes it, there's so much he can bring to the group, rap, dance, and vocals, composing songs and choreography too. his 5 years in YG Ent really shaped him to be an outstanding performer. he's always been known as a legendary trainee in YGTB, i hope people watching boys planet see that toof
Sometimes I still wonder why he wasn't picked by YG when he has to save some contestants from the eliminated ones. He is one of the best rappers there.
PERIOD 👏
wang zihao is very talented but sadly mnet doesn't give him any screentime he's probably the only ALL STAR trainee who didn't get to showcase his talent like an ALL STAR not getting screentime is PURE EVIL. he was even seen helping other trainees in the bg in pixels, man is very humble and kind. hope he gets some recognition for his talent in the coming episode 🙏 PLEASE VOTE FOR WANG ZIHAO EVERYONE !!!
Wang Zihao is really very talented it's such a shame what they doing to him. I noticed him in episode 3 n started voting for him. He would make a really good idol
Mnet is doing dirty on Zihao, they used his first performance in the trailer for episode two, but later on they did not even air his performance.
@@ohsehun1541 I am still annoyed with the preview
yeah they do this with ricky too like ep 2 he show up like 1 time? and he was amazing in back door, if he was not in the killing part they would barely does him again, they deserve better
For some reason I keep thinking Hui is going to pull a Jurina from pd48 and just quietly(or dramatically) pull out of the show bc of health issues or an injury Idk why I just can’t picture him actually wanting to be in a group w a 15 yr old
this is interesting and definitely possible. i personally think he's already come far enough and is seeing good enough results that he may stick it out but it's definitely hard to picture him and yujin in the same group
@@serikeu I don't think so. It's visible that he was uncomfortable and out of place in the first episode, but in this second episode he is much more comfortable with the other trainees. I was even happy to see him asking other trainees for help in dancing. Also, since the first ep he says he doesn't want other trainees to treat him like a sunbae...
@@serikeu I mean i think he’ll stay the next couple rounds maybe pull out before the finale I have no evidence, just a feeling. A feeling that he isn’t done with pentagon the way yujin was done with clc so maybe more of a byungchan from pdx101 move
SAME, I think ppl just don’t realize how different 29 is to a 18-20 year old. Ppl calling it ageism but no😭‼️ When you’re significantly older than someone, the only position you can take is older brother or mentor. You would just never have any intimate or weird conversations with them, at best they’ll consider each other as family but not besties 😭 I can’t imagine hui doing all the rookie variety shows and games with them, that’s hilarious. I’m 18, my older brother is 29 too, THATS SO WEIRDDD to think of someone in a totally different life stage being in my friend group 😭
There's a similar case like that in PD101 Japan season 1.
There's a 3 Koreans, which is ex Halo members (Kim Youndong, Kim Heecheon, and Jeong Younghoon) who joined the show, all of their rangkings was secured from episode 1 and guaranteed to debut. But right after the third elimination and before the final mission starts, Kim Heecheon left the show first and the two remaining followed. It was said due to personal reasons but I guess one of the main reasons all of them suddenly quit like that was because some of the "netizens" complained that it's too much if the three of them debut in the final group (JO1), it'd be a shame and pity for the remaining japanese trainees.
I understand why the three do that but I'm not lying that it's heartbreaking when the news came out because they're one of my pick and got a great chemistry with the other trainees :')
it's a shame because they were so hopeless that they even joined the newest produce show that's not even in Korea. they have to learn japanese, adapt and have a secured rankings but they decided to gave it to their japanese friends, they're so kind ugh I can't-- :(
but now I'm happy that they have debuted in Japan, with the other 4 trainees from PD101 Japan that managed to go final but didn't get to debut lineup
matthew's one-pick fanbase is definitely soaring and will continue to given his screentime and his virality on tiktok - good that he absolutely has the talent to back it up!
he has my one pick 😌
I’m just a passerby watching this show for my ult minhyun and Matthew got my one pick vote for sure.
I can't decide between Mathew and zhanghao.
I cant decide between like 20 different people and I’m gonna cry when I have to make a decision 😂 I might either not vote Orr switch it up everyday
Kinda fell now :c
I hope Seunghwan can debut :( he's so talented and deserves a spot on the final line up ;;
Me too, he’s been through so much and I feel like this is his last chance to debut😭😭😭 let’s work hard and get him to debut
Seunghwan instead of junghyun and it will be a reality fr
Fr!!
YESSSSSSS
talent mean nothing if the vote not enough
I can’t emphasize enough how important it is for people that like Zhang Hao to keep voting for him. We saw what almost happened last time with Xiaoting. Everyone assumed she was guaranteed to debut, but she barely made it after the one pick system started. Zhang Hao has been getting a lot of love but he’s a foreigner/Chinese member at the end of the day, and he faces more barriers compared to Hanbin, Jiwoong, and Yujin because of that. We’ve already seen how those 3 are stable as the top 3, but Zhang Hao hovers around 7th place, which makes me nervous. Zhang Hao is not only objectively beautiful and talented, but he’s also a really sincere and humble person, and I just think he’s a star. Please keep voting for Zhang Hao!
I'm honestly rooting for Keita because he has gone through YG training, which is like wild as fuck!! Like did you see his performance on Block B's "Zero for conduct"?? He was so relaxed and he slayed... It's weird that he's not on the Top 9.
Zhang Hao said in one of the episodes that some of the K-Trainees don't have outside experience and he's worried for them, and I understand where he is coming from. Debuting is like landing on a huge job in a successful company thanks to a whole lot of past experiences and training. I'm aware that there are people who have debuted despite having 1-2 years of training, but different people have different abilities.
I feel like anyone who takes Rank 6 is safe. This is because CLC Yujin was ranked 6th in the beginning and then she started go rise up. But Hui needs to be careful because he's not confident with his dancing.
I remember one of the judges saying that they are looking for singers first, so Hui has a great benefit.
In terms of support points, Hiroto, Zhang Hao, Wang Zihao has so much support!!
keita is so talented and has such a good attitude 🥲 and now that you bring it up what zhang hao said does kind of make me think about how different training regimens could impact g-group and k-group!! if they start teaming up for evaluations i wonder how that will play out
We have people like Olivia Hye who debuted in Loona after one day as a trainee. However Olivia Hye did train in a dance acedemy. Normally idols with short training times usually have experience some other training like vocal and dance academies so they have the skills to debut even if they did not train with the company for long.
to further clarify (not saying that you're wrong), what Zhang Hao was actually saying was that Yuehua K trainees did not undergo any training/classes outside of Yuehua's own internal training system.....Yujin and Gyuvin were probably too used to Yuehua's instructors' training styles and pace, hence they kinda struggled at the start trying to learn the signal song from the dance masters
When you said that you had 4 trainees that you were sure were debuting, Sung Hanbin, Zhang Hao, Han Yujin, and Kim Jiwoong immediately popped up in my head so yeah, that's very telling lol. I would bet my life on their debut. There is no way they're not making it. This is my first survival show so I literally don't know what to expect from the finale but kAJNHBGJNK as long as those four plus Anthonny and Taerae make it I will be happy
I would be very happy with this group....literally they wouldn't even need 9 members, I would stan the group consisting of just these 6 lol
first time with a survival show is fun but stressful lol!! thank you for the support ❤❤
Yess Anthonny and Taerae need to make it they're very talented and quite popular now, so there's a possibility pls😭🙏
I am not sure about Zhang hao. You'll remember yurina the same thing might happen to him🥲
I want TaeRae to debut. He is my number 1 pick
Keita has gone through a lot. He has trained under YG, and his training period is 9 years which is really crazy. And when he performs he’s really relaxed and it looks like that he is having the best time on stage, his also an all rounder which he can produce music, sing, rap, and dance. and I’m happy to see that there’s good editing about him and I hope he debutes. Keita fighting !!
Also wish the best for other contestants!!
if all 3 of zhang hao, hanbin and seowon debut i will have no choice but to stan
this would be a really good trio!!!
Hello friend, same pick right there
yasss i agree!
the seunghwan and seungyoun comparison is so accurate, i was literally like YES THANK YOU when you mentioned it. and based on round 1 rumours im pretty optimistic about him getting a good edit but im going to try and not get my hopes up too much.
He did get a minor angel edit in episode 2, he helps Daeul getting the confidence he needs, does won over Daeul stans K fans and I fans alike (hopefully his ranking go up abit)....hope more people will notice his many qualities and vote for him
he is so seungyoun it's crazy... and i'm also pretty optimistic about his edits! he just seems like a very solid choice and he'll be well loved for sure
With regard to what you said about Seowon and Woonggi; I think Seowon has a much better chance, because Woonggi has had almost no screentime in the first two episodes, and they're very obviously shipping Seowon with Jiwoong. The circumstances around Woonggi's removal from TO1 also make it not look good for him
you could definitely be right! i wanted to leave it open in case woonggi has a really good one pick chance but if it does come down to who gets the better editing then seowon will be in a much better place for sure
why was woonggi removed from to1 ?

@@joe-fk5ud It is 😭they could have at least denied the rumours
u predicted more than a half of the lineup which is already crazy
the ones you missed, taerae had craazy korean fanbase, which definitely carried him (also panic voting definitely helped)
ricky had huge intl fanbase and towards the end, he managed to get korean fanbase too, so he made it!
matthew is the same case as ricky, him blowing up on tiktok even more
personally, i was only surprised by gunwook and really underestimated his one pick fanbase
my fave na kamden is almost certainly not going to debut but best believe i’m going to be voting for him EVERY DAY because i want to see more of his talents and for him to not get eliminated. He’s an amazing rapper and dancer and everyone should check out the full rush hour performance
If he doesn’t debut, let’s make sure his best friend Jay can debut
Me too
@@travelkingdom8987 yes im supporting jay heavily as well! I want them to be a duo so bad
i think one-pick voting will benefit hui and kim jiwoong the best. hui has a great fandom in South Korea and from what i've seen jiwoong has tons of fans internationally. i'm just shocked that hui's international fanbase is torn between keeping him in pentagon or making him redebut in a new group. they should consider what made hui decide to be in show in the first place. if he knew that pentagon was in safe hands he for sure wouldn't have been a contestant in a survival show. so im rooting for hui to be in the final lineup.
hui does have a TON of support in korea and will definitely be a top pick for more casual watchers or kpop fans there. and i do agree that pentagon is probably in a lot more trouble than we can see
I wonder if he'll reveal the reason for his participation in the next episode?
@@Multifandomgirl1499 He said why in the 2nd episode. Hui said after he got out of the army, he got back to Pentagon and the people who they used to work with didn't even want to work with them anymore. He then started thinking, "Are we really that bad that people don't want to work with us"? I think as the leader of Pentagon, he feels a lot of pressure to at least get his name out there and then, maybe more people will listen to Pentagon. I myself knew of Hui but never realized how talented he was until he got in this show, and I think a lot of people will see his charms/skills though this show.
@@vivianlee6098 Thank you so much for sharing. Looks like the episode I watched on Facebook wasn't complete. But I hope that he debuts or Pentagon go to another company together just like GOT7.
@@Multifandomgirl1499 AGREED! I ended up falling for Hui on Boys Planet, I hope he can make it and become the leader and producer for the team!
I really think Matthew could debut, I personally like traines similar to him such as Anthony and Cong, but Matthew being somewhat more all-rounded, having great chemistry with han bin, being humble and speaking English will give him a solid fanbase I hope. I'm already thinking of him as my one pick and I don't really think I'll change my mind
OP is super bold for predicting Zhang Hao will place 2nd (though that would be a dream scenario indeed). would absolutely be able to live with this predicted Top 9, and it would be a stellar group 💯
also agreed that nobody can hate our two K and G centers, they're seriously such well-rounded aces and absolute gems

@@serikeu girl we OVER-MANIFESTED lol
I def think your reasoning stands for most the trainees! I def see how Seok Matthew reminds a lot of people of the Yurina situation from gp999 but because of that I think a lot of people will try and protect his place in top9 even more out of fear! this might be my wishful thinking tho since he is in my top 3 picks
i think we'll get a better sense of how strong his fanbase is within the next few episodes!! but he has super high chances especially since he is pretty popular with korean fans :)
Boys Planet is basically Lee Seunghwan last chance to debut, if he fails this one he's just gonna give up as was stated by his brother.
I really want him to debut
that's... so sad 😭 when looking into him i was so surprised that 1the9 is the only break he's had. he has a lot of great qualities but has just been very unlucky i guess
@@serikeu that's why most of his stans hope that this can finally be his big break, he went through alot....it will be such a waste to lose someone that so talented as he is

LOUDER
YALL SEE THE VISION! i’ve reached my target audience
AMEN!!
came back here after the announcement. u predicted the k:g ratio of 6:3 and got the 5/9, not bad. i'm happy matthew made it but it saddens me that keita was the one who pulled yurina card.
out of g group i think hao and matthew have the best shot
So now is more than half way of the show and we can see that your top 4 predictions are super accurate and it's very unlikely to change. However the other 5 spots are changing so dramatically. Don't know what's gonna happen!
honestly its a set rule now in survival shows that the center/s in the signal song make it into the final lineup theyre the first ones that catches the new viewers eyes
for Korea, yes. for China, no.
plus towards the end if their rankings do fall for some reason people will vote very hard for them. if the streak eventually does get broken i just can't see it happening with hanbin or zhang hao!
i just can’t possibly see the debut line up without hanbin and zhang hao esp cause the producers are pushing them a lot and they have positive response from both korean and international fans
@@psychedelicacynical yeah. That part about China is weird. You don't know if you should be happy or not for being picked as the center
@@mae6565 I see some people saying that Zhang Hao is gradually growing a korean fanbase, so I'm remaining hopeful and banking on that! besides Ifans support, he will really need korean fans support to debut as well
Wang Zihao is one of the trainees that can absoluty debut if he can advanced to final. Wang Zihao already possess 1 pick fans despite of lack of screentime.
My picks are Zhang Hao, Ricky, Hanbin, Kim Jiwoong, Hui, Krystian, Dang Hong Hai, Anthony, and Han Yujin. I'm not sure how many of them will debut but I'll still vote for them. I'm also considering Matthew, Seungwhan and Jay. It sucks only 9 can debut when there are lots of talented trainees.
Ikr, if only they could debut all the talented ones.
plss keep voting on them your picks are same as mine I really wanna them to debut
Please vote for Cong and Dang Hong Hai!!! We can't seperate our Viet boys!!!! 🇻🇳🇻🇳
Fr 9 people seem so less when there are so many talents in the show. I hope that despite not all of them ending up in the debut lineup, they still get attention when they debut in their own company's groups
My Picks are (in not particular order)
1. Jay
2. Sung Hanbin
3. Matthew
4. Keita
5. Lee Seunghwan
6. Wang Zi Hao (Liked him a lot on episode 2!!!!!)
7. Zhang Hao
8. Kamden (I think a lot of rappers are underappreciated. There was no rap commentary from the demo stages :( Looking forward to the cover stages)
9. Hui (not so sure about him though)
My picks are mostly G-group and I know it's unlikely to happen. Knowing they'll surely debut 5-6 Koreans.
I really want Gunwook to debut, please vote for him guys
Voting for him 🤍
I wish i could give my daily nine votes to him he’s incredibly talented and charismatic and definitely deserves to debut i want to see more of him for the next years
Right!!!!!😭
@@akemiqtr262 sameee 🥺
I liked him at first, but he lost my vote when he bossed around the second mission. Seemed a bit arrogant and unlikable to me
I HAD to come back to this video
I really resonate with this logic. Mnet showcasing Keita made me notice him to the point he made it to my top 9, the member I'm most unsure of when it comes to voting is Hui : I truly like him and want him to accomplish the succes he deserves, but I'm not sure if redebuting is his end-goal, plus the dynamic with his future teammates could be kinda odd since there are a lot teens that are likely to debut (If I could handpick the age range of the group it would be like 98s-05s)
I am really rooting for Wumuti to debut despite knowing that he probably has negative chances .....I feel like no one notices or talks about him... but I really hope he does amazing in life with that beautiful voice .❤️
Same. Hopefully Wumuti's fans from his Under Nineteen days will tune in. His vocals have improved so much, along with his Korean fluency. And his dancing and overall performance are still top notch!!
I feel like I see him talked about a decent amount, maybe he'll pull a Bahiyyih
I really want wumuti to debut ☹️ he has so much talent in both dancing and I wish more people would pay attention to him
@Mxitza exactly, let's hope for the best
Unfortunately he only got reaction screentime and mnet didn't even air his audition.
i’m honestly rooting for woonggi and sungmin so hard right now; i’ve been supporting both of them since i saw them on road to kingdom and rediscovered them on edward avila’s channel - them both being removed from to1 was so surprising to me as they were both my biases
out of the two of them, i do feel like woonggi has the highest chance considering that he was one of the most popular members of to1 and also has got a decent amount of girl group stans that could push him up the ranks, and from what i’ve seen so far a lot of boys planet fans do love woonggi
hoping they can debut together or at least one of them can - vote for cha woong ki and oh sungmin !
About Seunghwan, I feel like he's getting more and more popular recently and he's definitely a strong candidate for actually making it to the top 9 at some point of the show, he's literally got everything to debut again.
There's 3 contestant that I'm 100% sure will make it unless they suddenly start getting evil editing (I don't think that'll happen though) : Hanbin, Zhang Hao and Jiwoong ; it wouldn't make any sense if they end up not making it to the group. About Yujin I don't really know how I personally feel about him yet, but he's growing on me!
I really want Taerae to debut but he has almost no screen time at all, like people know him yet people don't know him at the same time :'DD ??
I also wanted to talk about Doha, I see two possible outcome for him. We'll have a Minkyu situation again (people are making fun of him everywhere), he's still really popular, he'll make it to the final without debuting and he might focus more on acting. Or he'll get a Sohye (IOI) situation were he actually debuts. I have a soft spot for trainees like him ; despite having a short training time I don't think he's that bad actually, I see him more on the rapper side and I hope we'll get to see that later on the show. He seems really passionate about was he's doing and he is willing to improve and show a better version of himself, he's also surrounded by top trainees which can be really helpful, he'll get to improve in such a short period and take the role of the dark horse perhaps ?
For Hui, I don't really know if I want him in the lineup. Especially if the group is going to be a permanent group ?? Another comment said that already but I also feel like he's not planning on getting in the final lineup and is mainly participating to bring more exposure to Pentagon so I'm feeling a bit conflicted about his case.
Anywayyyy I'm so excited for this week's episode, this is gonna be interesting to see if the producers will keep highlighting the same trainees, I'm pretty sure this round will play a big part on determining who might actually make it to the final top 9.
Oh yeah, here are my picks :
Doha, Haruto, Taerae, Seunghwan, Jay, Ricky, Seowon, Hanbin and Zhang Hao
i have a soft spot for doha too ☹ the possibility of top trainees helping him improve is definitely a kind of story arc i could see for him! and the group almost definitely won't be permanent, when they opened applications for the show this seemed to be the route they wanted to take but they can't do that now since the contestants are from other companies
I don't think they are going to be permanent because a lot of trainees are from dif companies and I believe their companies have plans for them.
@@havensohn3821 yeah that’s what I was thinking too but I’ve seen a lot of people saying that it might actually be permanent so I was kinda confused haha

one of my picks is in the 70s right now so i would definitely be for this 😭💔
@@user-luciddream oh i didnt know
I feel like they might want to keep Jay in the sense if they want to go global like America they have an English speaker. But seok Mathew could also fill this role. If I were mnet I would try to get Japanese contestants to break into the Japansse market. Chinese contestants are somewhat of a low priority bc they can't really promote in China. But China bars would increase the sales of the group. Also I feel like girls planet some people are just filler votes. So some at the top will end up dropping drastically in the end. Until the 1 pick system comes into play it'll be hard to tell
i personally don't think they're going to target north america, they'll probably prioritize japan and i think they'll even be pretty popular in korea. but it really depends on who gets in the final group so everything you said is very possible!
I'm still hoping the group's popularity will be like x1 but that's unlikely to happen so far. But if they can't, at least try to pull an iz*one card who's very popular both korea and japan😪
I wish the lineup would be top 11 😢😢😢 not top 9 so many talented trainees
i know ☹ too many great guys to only debut 9 of them
Oh so like Girls Planet 999 also only 9 contestants will debut in Boys Planet?
@@hockeyhurricanes46 yea sadly
I wish other popular trainee can pull another jbj. There are yoo much talent to waste
@@imateusong literally
i really, REALLY hope keita would debut. he's got everything--he can dance, rap, and sing well. askjfbjkabj but honestly aside from the boys you mentioned, i believe there'll be a dark horse that we don't expect. like at all (cough cough park woojin & seungyeon). its gonna be so interesting then.
did you mean choi woojin? because i've actually been REALLY surprised that he's not getting any screentime and he's not more popular. and seungeon is ranking really well right now but i definitely see what you mean!!! no one's really expecting him to debut but he has a lot of potential
So i just remembered watching this video and it's quite fun to look back, I mean in the end you got 5/9 right, but 2/9 didn't even make the final round, it just shows how there are some more or less 'fixed' contestants from the start but also some really unpredictable rises (which is part of the fun while watching)
im making this prediction before i see your final prediction (just for fun lol)
in no particular order :
1. sung hanbin
2. zhang hao
3. han yujin
4. kim jiwoong
5. lee hoe taek
6. seok matthew
7. keita
8. park gunwook
9. kim gyuvin
edit : omg lol we had the exact same prediction for the top 4???
imo it will have a 6:3 ratio (K:G)
update after the second elimination : 8/9 correct, i didn’t expect hui to drop out of top 9
Hope your prediction become true!
We have the same top 9 except for gunwook i will change it to Jay.
@@liezltan1887 it’s not my top 9 btw! this is just a prediciton of who i think the final lineup will consist of
my personal top 9 is sung hanbin, zhang hao, matthew, keita, yujin, jay, gunwook, kum junhyeon and chen kuan lui 🙆🏻♀️
hui won't
WHERE IS SEOWON
i want haruto to debut so bad but unfortunately right now he’s not as popular as the other g group trainees and considering the final lineup will most likely only contain 3-4 g group trainees the chance of him debuting is more slim. i hope he gets more screen time and builds a bigger fan base in the future !
i really want jay debuts because he would be a perfect main vocal in an idol group and i think that for now they're showing it a lot. jiwoong is an obvious one because of the big fanbase related to his acting career, especially the bl part. from the editing i'd say they REALLY want gunwook to be in the group and they obviously want as few chinese guys an possible. on the other hand it feels like they're using hui only for the angst and the sad story because that's all they're showing for now. and the two "my house" dudes are being put in there just for laughs
I agree !!
It’s very obvious how much screen time for Huh Yujin, and it even exceeds the amount of the screen time to most of the G-group members combined!
I really want gunwook to debut. His dancing and stage presence is really next level. He has that charm that attracts people. I'm really gonna cry if he doesn't debut. I really don't want such a talent to go to waste.
Please same i will cry a river he's such a powerful dancer, his stage presence is insane, main rapper material and his vocals are beautiful. He's a talented all rounder i really really hope he gets to debut
same he's whole existence is too attractive to be ignore 😭
Sameee!!
Omggg yessss i love Gunwook
yes he is so underrated and people keep thinking that he was being disrespectful when he even cried because he felt sorry for his teammates when they lost because he was guilty when they were able to perform that well because of his decisions and lead.
your voice is so gorgeous 😭 please it’s definitely one of my favourites i’ve ever heard
this is so sweet!!! i've never been complimented on my voice before i started posting on this channel so i really really appreciate this 🥺❤
@@serikeu omg 😭😭 no fr, i could listen to you talk for HOURS. and i understand everything you say because your diction is incredible !! i’m looking forward to more uploads. 🫶🫶🫶
My personal picks (not necessarily in a particular order) are:
1. Kim Gyuvin
2. Han Yujin
3. Sung Hanbin
4. Park Gunwook
5. Kim Jiwoong
6. Seok Matthew
7. Keita
8. Zhang Hao
9. Jay
The first 6 are my non negotiables, if they don't debut I'll be throwing myself from a bridge :)
based on episode 3, i think Jay is gonna have a better chance of debuting just from talent alone. I really hope people don’t drop him just cause he is “cringey”. His kind of talent deserves to debut.
If anyone can debut on pure talent it's him. Let's hope for the best 🤞
And kpop idols are often required to act cringey anyways (on variety shows, at fanmeetings and in MV's depending on the concept), idk why people act like it's a negative when in reality he has extra experience for the job
its not even just cause hes cringey its also the fact that he surrounded himself with shitty people who kinda just take caution around him cause if yourself have shitty friends what does that say about you like theres than just “cringey” as to why people dont like him
@@enhaeclipse Those weren't his friends. They were people on his discord, which functioned as a fancafé. And yes, there were rules against racism and homophobia. It's not his fault some people decided to be shitty on a discord server. It's ridiculous to villainize him for other peoples actions like this
@@enhaeclipse those weren’t his friends. just random ppl on discord! jay was rarely online in the server too. also his family are very anti racism, homophobia, pro feminism etc. and jay has shown support too! he is clearly anti racism n so on.
No he doesn"t
i don't know why i didn't think about this but for the final prediction i didn't really consider the rankings themselves. i just put the guys in there in a rough order of who i think is most likely to make it so the rankings don't really mean anything 😭
also since this is a long video you might want to watch it in 1.5x speed!
LEE SEUNGHWAN is underrated! he is amazing!!
Bro ur voice is so calming I listened to it at normal speed for the first time in like forever
@@s8titditdkydtsirz590 this is a big compliment thank you 😁❤
I'm predicting a very heavily pushed jiwoong/seowon ship by the edit soon but idk if it will be enough to get seowon to debut.. I would also add Matthew to the almost certainly debuting lineup actually, I think he has a lot of 1 pick potential with western fans and he's ethnically Korean so he's not going to have the same disadvantage as other g group trainees when it comes to kvoters. I don't think hui will make the final group because he really does not fit the image that mnet will be going for, I think they're gonna do everything they can to get him out of there, in which case taerae will be pushed as main vocal. I'm also hoping for yoo seungeon to debut, he stood out the most to me in the yuehua k group performance but that's less likely given him currently being overshadowed by other k yuehua trainees.. but I agree 100% with Zhang hao, sung hanbin and kim jiwoong. lee seunghwan is my no1 tho I will personally make sure he debuts 😭😭
i think seowon and jiwoong are actually friends too so the ship edit will probably continue lol! and i actually think seungeon will continue to get more popular
@@serikeu he has the main vocal part for the aju nice stage next round so as long as he does well in that he'll hopefully move up the rankings a lot 🙏🙏
matthew seems like such a sweetheart and he's my canadian rep fr💪🏼 hope he debuts
seunghwan definitely reminds me of seungyoun and i'm so glad you said it bc i thought i was the only one lmao. i think seunghwan is definitely going to be the dark horse and make it in the final line up. he's popular but not necessarily in everyone's top nine so i think he'll slowly creep up ppl's lists as the season carries on. vote for seunghwan everyone!!
Im trying to push boys planet onto my non-kpop friends so that i can get the to vote for Chen Kuan Jui because I totally fell in love with him in the first episode. I have no idea about his one pick voting power and how the producers view him, but from the star support page it seems like he might have a good chance.
omg yes!! he is so good 😭 but it seems pretty hard for him to debut...
I hope ur right tho
im really rooting for park hanbin!! im sad to see his popularity isnt that big, i expected him to gain a lot of recognition too😭especially because his bluebhair stood out- but being a name twin with one of the most popular trainees might also negatively impact :,)
this video pretty much summarized my thoughts on possible line up however i hope seunghwan and matthew could make it to the final top9 (maybe instead of junghyun and hiroto respectively if mnet will choose to push lsh a bit more)
I would love a follow up on this video after the last elimination or after the show is over! Comparing how it went different (and why) or exactly as you predicted
i have a plan for this!! my phone is already full of a bunch of notes so you can definitely expect it :)
I want Zhang hao to debut 🥺🥺🥺🥺
My Top 9 (by age order)
1. Lee Seung Hwan (2000)
2. Zhang Hao (2000) - G (CHINA)
3. Jay (2001) - G (USA)
4. Sung Han Bin (2001)
5. Seok Matthew (2002) - G (CANADA)
6. Kim Tae Rae (2002)
7. Kim Gyu Vin (2004)** not too sure about him
8. Mun Jeong Hyun (2005)
9. ????**
(my 2 current top picks are Mun Jeong Hyun & Sung Han Bin)-
** I'm not too sure about any other picks, there are so many contestants. I want to hear your recommendations.
(also I'm not putting Hui in my lineup because I think it would be better for him to return to PENTAGON after the airing of the show. The group would struggle even more if they had to promote without their leader. They have also had many members leave, go to military service or go on indefinite hiatus. Also, I'm predicting that most trainees that will debut are born in the 2000's it might make it awkward for the team dynamic to work with someone who is both much older and a big 선배 in the industry. (IZ*ONE managed success without having a well known debuted korean idol in their lineup)
I also want to see new talents and dreams being realised. It includes idols which didn't really experience real success with their former groups or promoted for a short time.
Please check out Anthonny
@@aizel_verona agreed Anthonny is a very good pick
look forward to wang zihao ❤ he is LAY EXO trainee
PLZ VOTE RICKY!!
maybe you could check out keita
I really want keita to debut!! he's literally the most talented trainee on the show
Honestly watching this in 2024, I'm getting goosebumps over the analysis, obviously not 100% correct but I like how you nailed it with the observations of most of the contestants, and how each contestant is used for clout.
Gun wook was a contestant on a survival show called Wild Idol. He made it all the way to final round and just missed out on making the debut lineup. He was really good on that show and I was really rooting for him. I think he’s grown a lot since then and I think that previous experience of being on a survival show is helping give him confidence to step more into leadership, take charge roles and the other jellyfish trainees seem to really trust his judgment probably because of that. He knows how these survival shows go. I think he has a lot of potential to make it really far in this show and I would love to see him finally debut
as much as i love jay, i completely agree that he doesn't have the image that producers and voters are looking for. he's way too talented for him to be concealed or evil edited without raising suspicion BUT they're already including comments from the judges and contestants talking about about his "american/pop" image, i think they're very much already saying "you're cool but we don't want you" sigh i hope the best for him
yes i've been having trouble putting it into words but it's small things like that that led to me this assumption! with jay, the editing he's gotten so far could seem like an obvious push from producers but there are small things including the emphasis on his american image i'm catching that just give me a feeling he's not necessarily a producer pick. i am a little more fuzzy about his chances now that he's getting so popular so we'll just have to see what happens
@@serikeu if he makes it it would honestly be a surprise. but if he doesn't, at least his newfound popularity will hopefully help him get a chance somewhere else, i think he deserves it
Hey! Now that BP999 is done, I would love to see an update on the actual line-up VS your prediction and your thoughts! So yeah! I really love your content!! Love u!!
This is the final line up:
1. Zhang hao
2. Sung Hanbin
3. Matthew
4. Ricky
5. Gunwook
6. Taerae
7. Gyuvin
8. Jiwoong
9. Han yujin
I'm can't believe that Keita didn't make it 😭😭😭
The way that this ranking is so realistic, i hope that this is the season where we break the 3 international member per group rule
the saddest scenario would be.. we will only get 3 g group particpant in the final lineup.. worst if we only get 2...
sadly these are the two most likely cases :(
mun junghyun has been my #1 pick since the here i am fancams came out. theres just something about the dude. but i didnt really expect anything since he was rarely highlighted and talked about much. literally caught off guard with the amount of screentime he got on the first few episodes 💀 bros unfortunately underrated
he’s a great rapper! he’s part of the 9 im voting for
I appreciate that Jay is well-liked in this comment section😭
You literally blew my mind when you compared Matthew's situation to Yurina's, it makes so much sense
She was terribly right: 3:6 ratio for korean trainees. 5 spots correct for the first assumption, two of her back ups made it. So yes, Mnet is predictable
tbh I agree with all the points you stated and it kind of makes me sad cause ik by the end the ranking of some trainees will drop drastically and some might just debut because of their good looks instead of talent personally i really want jay and gunwook to debut they both are really good vocalists especially jay and guwook's personality kind of reminds me of kang daniel from produce but he is being evil edited and being shown as someone with attitude and ego
i actually don't think gunwook is really being evil edited! i think the producers are showing much more of his positive traits, sometimes the producers will show contestants that have very high confidence because it adds character and screentime for them. i could be wrong since it's only episode 2, but i don't think you have to worry too much about gunwook's editing!
i really hope jay will get more edits, so far hes gotten a lot of screentime, i need him to debut with keita
I WANT HIROTO TO FINALLY DEBUT cmon guys he’s been already in produce japan and produce china (chuang 2021) 😢😢
Mnet need to push Hiroto cuz my man got 0 screentime he is so talented and deserves to debut
@@Titi23281 things were slightly better in episode 3 but we just have to keep rooting for him
i just want keita to debut 💔 and if sung hanbin debuts i really want matthew to debut as well bc it would be so sad to see them separated ☹️
please make more video updates as the season goes on !! i would love to hear more of your theories :)
Jay is one of my Main picks, and I'm pretty sure he isn't debuting. I think producers are setting him up for failure the way he's getting good edits on early episodes.
Seok Matthew is very likely to debut with how his storyline is being played out. He's pretty well rounded, and I might be delusional, but I think he can pull of a Somi and rank number 1 on the Finale.
As much as I don't want Han Yujin to debut(because of his age), He's definitely going to debut, and I think a good center candidate. I just see him as the Wonyoung/Ahn Yujin of this season.
Hui could have a similar fate as Yujin(clc/Kepler) but the thing is, I don't think Hui wants to win. Every 'already debuted' idol in this shows always state that they want another shot at debut but Hui only wants validation(?) Idk I don't really mind him in the group, he's a good Vocalist too.
Also I think Hiroto is the safest Japanese trainee to put in the group and the producers want him over Keita. I don't see the problem in debuting them both though.
Hanbin is fully eligible for the center position of the final group. The 'signal song center curse' isn't technically true since Sakura was supposed to be the final center(yes I will die on this hill).
Kim Jiwoong is Kim Jiwoong. He needs to debut for the gays.
I forgot to put that Back Doha and Jung Mingyu can pull a Hyewon and Minju move and debut solely for their visuals.(insert Ma Jing Xiang too)
@@junkyuformainvisual hard on the Ma Jing Xing bcs suddenly I saw him pop up everywhere and after ep 3 the crowd was going wild during his parts
Nah Mnet prefers Keita over Hiroto, they don't give Hiroto screen time but he has a very strong fanbase so he has a lot of chances to debut
Wang Zihao til the end. Yes, you are right, the very minimal screentime made it difficult for nonfans to even recognize him. But we do admit, being in Yixing's agency has made it possible to get the attention of EXO-ls and Xbacks, who have been voting for him together with his solo fanbase. Everyone is rallying for him to debut given that he has the entire package - visuals, talent, and personality. Honestly, his backstory is also something that has to be heard.
I think Seok Matthew is a guarantee. He’s ethnically korean and doesn’t struggle with the language barrier. After episode three, i think he can ride his current popularity wave all the way to debut. Mnet is scheming a G group comeback story where they lose every competition until the group battles. I think Matthew is the “ideal” pick from G group besides Zhang Hao.
The top 4 G trainees are already a good member for the debut line.
Not i want wang zihao too 😭 but mnet wouldnt let 5g4k cause knetz would be mad
I love this video! You did a great job of explaining yourself and I think your theories on who's gonna make it really sound solid. It felt like you put into words a lot of what I was thinking.
I agree with the four who you think are gonna make it:
Jiwoong: stans who like visuals, the gays, and mnet all love him so Idt anything is gonna go bad for him Honestly a shoe-in. With his one pick power, I would not be surprised if he ranks top 2 in the finale.
Sung Hanbin/Zhang Hao: Hanbin feels like the Dayeon of BP but I'm kinda eating it up. Zhang Hao feels like a guaranteed G group spot in the group since he's popular, well-liked, talented, and pretty. He's hovering around the lower top 9 so I would not be surprised halfway through the show if he drops out of top 9 or goes to 9th and people start panic voting for him.
Yujin/Gyuvin?: According to spoilers they both drop to 3 star and based on ep 3 preview they'll probably make a sad edit for Yujin and then the standard 'he'll work hard to prove himself' narrative. I can see them tagging Gyuvin onto this as well, since we've been shown that Gyuvin cares a lot about Yujin. So far they feel like a package deal but I feel like if only one of them could make it, it would be Yujin. I would not be surprised if Gyuvin stays top 9 then doesn't make it or his rank gets progressively lower as the show goes on, but he still makes it to the finale.
Other people I think are in the running for debut:
Hui: Basically Yujin when she was in GP999. Circumstances are different but same premise; senior idol joining survival show for another shot at success. If this was the rigged days of Produce he would make it to the end then not make the group. With Hui, I feel like he's fine and I think his one-pick power is strong enough to keep him top 9.
Matthew: Same concern as you: Idk if he'll have the one pick power by the finale, cause rn the way I see it, Hanbin fans are voting for Matthew as well because of their dynamic, then when one-pick comes around, they'll go back to Hanbin. They're definitely setting up Hanbin/Matthew as a Chaeyeon/Sakura dynamic so I do think he's gonna make it, but his rank might be low, like 8th or 9th for the drama LOL.
Other trainees I want but Idk if they'll debut:
Keita: Really impressed me; trainee time is working to his advantage, but I can see mnet throwing him to the sidelines unless he continues to perform and excel. Think Mashiro from GP999, girlie won every mission she was in, and as a result got screen time from that even if she wasn't the focus. Keita I feel would need something like that.
Park Gunwook: Idk what they're going with him. He's getting semi-good? edits and screen time but I feel like it's all building for a villain arc that could destroy him Cai Bing style. Maybe I'm just being pessimistic but Idk if he'll make it, but I could see him being in the finale.
Seo Won: Also don't know what they're doing with him. I think Mnet likes his visuals, expressions, etc, but they don't like him as a part of the group so they're just using his image and reactions to amplify other trainees. They didn't show his performance or anything but kept cutting to him for confessionals or reactions. Woonggi also applies here.
Hiroto: Bro has gotten nothing so idt they want him lol. His one pick is strong so I think he'll go far but without screentime Idk if his one pick is strong enough for him to pull a Bahiyyih. Hopefully he actually gets some screen time in the future. Anthonny also applies here for me.
Jay: From ep previews, it seems like they're trying to set up Jay vs Hui as a main vocal battle, and I feel like Hui would win that, I think viewers are more likely to pick Hui over Jay. Again, Idk about his one-pick power but I think he'll make it to the finale or 3rd round. Haruto also applies here for me.
What do you think will be the final distribution of the group?
I'm currently voting for 4K5G but that's unrealistic for the final group lol.
I'm personally hoping for 5K4G since most of my picks are G but that's prolly not gonna happen either lol.
I can see the group being 6:3 or 7:2 lol.
i think the final ratio will be 6k3g just like kep1er! if not it would probably only be 7k2g but that ratio would cause a lot of outrage. 5k4g is unlikely and definitely something the producers don't want but it's always a possibility!
Sung hanbin, jiwoong, Matthew, yujin gonna debut for sure
I am guessing it's gonna be 6 Korean and 3 global people in the final lineup
Every Center ever debut
this is such a well thought out video - i havent been following boys planet much but your reasoning is so well thought out i completely understood all your points
Idk about Hui not ending up in the debut line (I feel like he's way too talented and seasoned not to, but he is older than what MNET and most kfans want). I do feel like Hui joining Boys Planet likely means that Pentagon won't resign or have already quietly disbanded, because as far as I know their contract with Cube ends late 2023 (correct me if I'm wrong) which pains me a lot. Also, the fact that Hui and another Pentagon member wrote WannaOne's Energetic stings. This must be so humbling for him (probably not in a good way) but he seems to be a fair sport about it til now.
it's definitely sad to watch. i think his options might be even worse than we know because he probably had to swallow a LOT of pride to make this decision
Pentagon did not disband (yet). They have concerts planned until June.
@@Hellmaria THANK GOD u had me SCARED
ಥ‿ಥ I have no idea what will happen in the future. Last year before vlive officially ended, two members reassured us not to worry, and "nothing's going to change" even though we might feel like that.
And one member (Shinwon,) who has a radio show, told us that he is someone who sticks to same places, and contracts. (Which is a really strong hint of whether he'll re-sign... )
Everything is so unclear.... Today PTG is performing at MIK Festival in Paris, yet CUBE (as always) never told us how many members will be there ...
Cube didnt really treat Pentagon as a disbanding group. They were highly active last year already deciding on the comeback and preparing for it. It looks more like this opportunity came in the middle to pause the current plan and try for aiming more general attention through Hui. The story they spun around Hui is was different from actual reality, which makes it quiet weird to watch but I guess as long as Cube gets those stats out they want Hui can drop out on his own merit before the show ends.
i pray that woonggi debuts 😭😭😭😭😭 PLEASE VOTE FOR HIM!!!!
LITERALLY
Coming to this vid after the finale and 5/9 predictions were true, and I'd also like to share my thoughts on what happened.
Most surprising thing that happened: Zhanghao center, 4 yuehuaz, C-line being in top 4.
And explanations for why I think each member debuted and why I think Keita didnt bcs he was so robbed.
- Zhang Hao: Loved by both knetz and intl fans, pretty obvious
- Sung Hanbin: Same explanation as hao.
- Seok Matthew: Say My Name edit almost became his down fall, but seokryudans went crazy in final week.
- Ricky: Popular from PR video and a lot of knetz liked him
- Gunwook: Im not super sure but i think his is from promotions his fans did + appeal his personality
- Taerae: got low screentime till the very end but knetz fell in love from vids like ireumi boyeo and man in love. last interim woke up kkultaraes who were rotating and managed to put him back in top 9
Gyuvin: Extremely popular in korea but got unnecessary hate from intl voters and got called a "dozen" (term should've never left ncity)
Jiwoong: Pre-show popularity but also got hate from ppl who watched the show exclusively on TikTok
Yujin: Again popularity in Korea, almso thought he wasnt ginna make it bcs i didn't see that many votes in one pick but k-netz saved him
Why Keita didn't debut: Although extremely popular internationally he got a lot of hate from knetz foe the most uselsess things and P18 in k-votes.
gunwook is super popular in japan and he had a strong 1 pick as he had few filler votes.
ricky was always popular but he definitely got more popular during over me because he gained a lot of recognition for his vocals
Please keep on voting for Anthonny!!! i wanted him to debut this time. He went far on Produce 101 Japan S2 and ranked 16th in the finale so i really want him to debut this time!!!
maybe if his voice didnt sound awful
I pray everyday for hirotos debut is his third survival show he is so talented and my man deserves to debut
so excited for this deep dive!!
my brain is constantly running in overdrive so there will be lots of videos like this!! thank you so much for the support 😁❤
@@serikeu
gunwook is so talented.. i hope he could debut🥹💗
Please vote for Kim Min Seoung, he was a former LOUD contestant. He has red hair and did the flip during NUNU NANA. He is really talented since he can sing, dance, rap, and do acrobatics. His rankings are really low at the moment since he has no dedicated fanbase, so please give him a chance. Vote for talent and skill, vote Kim Min Seoung
WAIT HES FROM LOUD?!? LMAOO I’ve been voting for him without even knowing, I thought it was only haruto and yedam on this show 😭😭 He’s so good!! It’s unlikely he’ll debut but I really liked his audition performance
@@kas_ualties7692 I agree, the Mnet favoritism does him so dirty. I really hope he becomes successful in life. But I’m still going to vote for him every day 💗
Well, I hope Jiwoong get to debut in the end. We should feel relax just because he is on too 9 now. Anything can change at the end.
